But they will be again, once the manpage is "connected to the build" :)
Since the manpage is pending review, it's actually a very good thing
that it is already part of the source tree, but it doesn't "sneak into"
normal buildworld/installworld builds. This way we get the best of
both worlds: we can read it before it actually goes live, *and* we keep
the install tree clean from files which may go away of even be replaced
before they reach their final version :)
